Cleaning your VorTech
The VorTech may need thorough cleaning of the components periodically to keep it running opti-
mally. This can be accomplished by disassembling the wet half of the pump and gently brushing
the components with a soft brush under running water. Soaking these parts in a mild acid solu-
tion such as vinegar may be necessary if there is an extreme amount of calcium buildup. Do not
use strong acids as this may damage the components. Follow instructions in section 6.1: Disas-
semling the Wet-Side.
Removing Nozzle
To remove the nozzle from the wet-frame, remove the entire wet-half of the pump from the aquar-
ium and place it on a non-metallic surface. Gently but firmly press down on the nozzle with your
palm and twist. For the MP40w model twist counter-clockwise and for the MP10 models twist
clockwise. The nozzle should become free of the wet-frame. It may then be cleaned or disassem-
bled further for maintenance or cleaning.
For more information on disassembling and reassembling your wet-side, refer to our support
